The Bachelorette host Jesse Palmer teases the most dramatic finale ever

Last week, Bachelor Nation fans witnessed the first part of After the Final Rose episode, where Zach self-eliminated himself, Rachel broke up with Aven, and Erich revealed that he wanted to date Gabby outside of the show before entering into a committed engagement. There is only more to come as host Jesse Palmer called it "the most dramatic finale ever in the history of the franchise."

In an interview with Bachelor Nation, Palmer said:

“Next week’s episode is going to be the most shocking finale in ‘Bachelorette’ history. It really will. There is a lot that happens with Gabby and Rachel in Mexico, but also in the days since we left Mexico. They are going to be there with us live, and they will be there with their men to help address some of the controversies that have been taking place.”

The Bachelorette host stated that if asked to pick one word to describe the finale, it would be "unexpected." Teasing more on how Gabby and Rachel's season will end and what's in store for them in the future, he said:

“I can’t speak for Gabby and Rachel, but I know they made the decisions they felt like they had to make to get the ending that they felt like they needed to have. Of course, they’ve also been supporting each other the entire time."

Jesse also had an answer ready for fans who thought that every season of the franchise had teased a "dramatic finale." He revealed that as per his observations, "Clayton’s season and now Gabby and Rachel’s season really have been the most dramatic.”

In a preview clip released by the show on their social media handles, Rachel can be seen contemplating the season before getting ready for the potential engagement. After stating that she had been awaiting this day, she expressed her concerns and said:

“I’ve been through a lot. And no matter what you still do have that little bit of doubt in your head. This is a really big step. I mean, he says he’s ready for an engagement, but it is kind of looking him in the face at this point and I think people can get scared."

The preview clips of The Bachelorette have teased enough drama that's still left to air. Many spoiler articles report that Rachel and Tino have broken up while Gabby and Erich are still together. Will the ladies get engaged and find love with their potential partners? Viewers will have to tune in to find out.

Don't forget to tune in to catch up all the drama, on The Bachelorette's grand finale, this Tuesday, September 20, only on ABC.
